So... you are suggesting that the Florida election law needed to be violated to elect Gore?Quote:

gecko comes up with his BEST STRATEGY YET!
In New Campaign Strategy, Romney to Have Mouth Wired Shut Until November
In what his campaign described today as a bold strategy to insure victory in the Presidential contest, Republican nominee Mitt Romney will undergo a procedure to have his mouth wired shut until Tuesday, November 6th.
The decision reportedly was made in response to the release earlier in the day of rare video footage showing Mr. Romney saying what he really thinks.
In the video, Mr. Romney blasts the American people for being “insanely obsessed with food, clothing, and shelter,” and asserts that many of them are “too lazy to hide their money overseas.”
At another point in the video, Mr. Romney refers to his own hardscrabble childhood: “I was never handed anything in life. If I wanted to cut a gay kid’s hair off, I had to pin him to the ground myself.”
Romney campaign aides were upbeat about the mouth-wiring procedure today, with some saying they wished they had thought of it months ago.
When asked about the procedure at a campaign stop in Ohio, Mr. Romney said, “Mmmnff ffnn mmfff nnnnnff.”

Thanks to the 2009 bill that removed income caps on who could do a roth ira conversion, I'm sure a good chunk of those Romney supporters will find themselves not paying any income taxes in retirement and they'll have Obama to thank for it.
Even worse.Quote:

it's possible some of them could get turned off and stay home. particularly if Romney continues his losing trajectory.Quote:

Romney would have been right to say there is 40-45% of the population that is going to vote for Obama no matter what. Romney can't focus on those people because he knows he will never win them over. They are similar to the 40-45% of the population who will vote for Romney. The key is winning over at least 50% of the remaining that last 10-20%.Quote:

If he wanted to get his jabs in he could have used a word like "some" or even "many" within that 40-45% are there because they depend on government. No one would get too worked up about that, especially if he then said that the remaining 10-20% are made up of all different demographics and backgrounds but keep an open mind and are unhappy with the past 4 years. All that would have been fine and true.
So, class warfare is actually OK to Team Red.
Thanks for confirming.
Well, this takes a giant dump on what Romney said.Quote:

Hatred for Obama is undeniably strong, but characterizing people who pay no income taxes as a class of parasites and moochers was monumentally stupid. also, as you pointed out, factually incorrect.Quote:

It seems like fair game for both parties. Would you disagree?Quote:

sure, but you've been flogging this meme to death the past couple of years, even did so upstream.Quote:

good question, CG. to me it seems he was better in the primaries at giving very little away and avoiding dumb comments. now it seems like he's falling over his own feet and flailing a bit.
